The cleaner diesel fuel program significantly reduces sulfur content, creating immediate health benefits, and allowing engine manufacturers to begin using advanced emissions control systems that further reduce harmful emissions. The diesel program regulations are located in 40 CFR Part 80 subpart I.

A 15 parts per million (ppm) sulfur specification, known as Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD), was phased in for highway diesel fuel from 2006-2010. Diesel engines equipped with advanced emission control devices (generally, 2007 and later model year engines and vehicles) must use highway ULSD fuel. Exhaust emissions from these engines will decrease by more than 90%.

Low sulfur (500 ppm) and Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel will be phased in for nonroad, locomotive, and marine (NRLM) engines from 2007-2014. These fuel requirements, coupled with advanced emission control technologies, will decrease emissions from these engines by more than 90%.

EPA adopted changes to the diesel fuel program to allow for the production and sale of diesel fuel with up to 1,000 ppm sulfur for use in Category 3 marine vessels. The regulations generally forbid production and sale of fuels with more than 1,000 ppm sulfur for use in most U.S. waters, unless operators achieve equivalent emission reductions in other ways.

UK 150ppm

In the UK, the path to lower sulphur fuels started early on. For diesel, the sulphur level was reduced from 500 ppm to 150 ppm on 1 January 2000 and again to 50 ppm in mid 1999 (in the case of petrol, mid 2001).


US 15ppm

A 15 parts per million (ppm) sulfur specification, known as Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD), was phased in for highway diesel fuel from 2006-2010. Diesel engines equipped with advanced emission control devices (generally, 2007 and later model year engines and vehicles) must use highway ULSD fuel.

saves looking the answer up on whicky leaks when wannas around

They were reports from both countries governing bodies, not whacky

BTW. Swad diesels Shane (Diesel God) reckons all your diesel engine worries stem from the removal of sulphur from the fuel

Taxis get a mention

They've been on the news that Skoda are under the radar now.

Only applies to the CR units not PD

on not under

No I think most of the problems stem from the Eu insisting on adding Biodiesel to it knackers the EGR valves and injectors and even worse if it goes up to 10 or even 15 percent

Why feck about with the software of a perfectly fine running engine in order to bring it down to a spec set by california, the EU do not have such low emissions laws that even allowing for lied about figures they are still cleaner engines than required. Just Re-catagorise and publish their true emissions and lets leave it as that rather than bugger up the engine by running it on a software setting it was never designed for...It's not as if the Cars don't run fine as is.

a few things have buggered up diesels

1. Government emissions levels changing regular
2. Joe public wanting 200bhp from a diesel
3. Fuel now being 5% bio and low or no sulphur
4. Manufacturers building 1 engine needing to sell it worldwide
5. Yanks protecting home markets

Bio Diesel is indeed knackering injectors up.
